Un centenaire, des faire mémoire : analyse des pratiques de mémoire autour du Canadien de Montréal

Cette thèse interroge les pratiques de mémoire hétérogènes qui ont émergé à propos de l’équipe de hockey du Canadien de Montréal dans le cadre du centenaire de l’équipe en 2009. Elle a le double objectif 1) d’apporter un éclairage théorique communicationnel sur l’objet « mémoire » et 2) de développer une analyse contextuelle des pratiques de mémoire et des enjeux qu’elles rendent effectifs. Mon travail s’inscrit dans le champ des memory studies, et particulièrement dans le tournant médiatique actuel, ainsi que dans celui des cultural studies. Au cours du chapitre consacré à la problématisation, je développe une approche communicationnelle de la mémoire en interrogeant la matérialité des pratiques de mémoire ainsi que leur relation co‐constitutive avec les médias de mémoire, réalisées dans le cadre du centenaire. Dans les deux chapitres analytiques, je procède à une analyse d’archives hétérogènes (articles de journaux, captures de sites internet, notes d’observation, interviews, émissions spéciales, publireportages etc.) issues de registres de mémoire différents. Le deuxième chapitre questionne les pratiques de mémoire à propos de l’ancien joueur du Canadien Léo Gravelle, telle la numérisation d’archives et la constitution de la « boîte à chaussures », la « biographisation », la conservation et la fétichisation, ainsi que leurs façons spécifiques de rendre présent des passés. Ce chapitre met en évidence comment des rapports familiaux, des enjeux liés au vieillissement et des formes de camaraderie sont réarticulés par ces pratiques. Le troisième chapitre investigue les pratiques de mémoire développées par l’organisation du Canadien de Montréal, telle la commémoration et la patrimonialisation de l’équipe ainsi que du hockey, et leur manière particulière de réarticuler la relation du sport professionnel à la ville ainsi que des enjeux liés à la philanthropie et au consumer activism. Le quatrième chapitre propose une discussion sur les faire mémoire, comme moyen d’ « espacer », de s’engager « en public » et comme projet qui mobilise et organise. Cette thèse conclue finalement sur ce qui constitue la singularité de ce centenaire.

Amenaza Interdependiente en la Región de los Grandes Lagos

El objetivo de esta monografía es analizar los alcances de la presencia de grupos armados ilegales como elementos determinantes en el origen de un subcomplejo de seguridad regional entre la República Democrática del Congo, Ruanda y Burundi. Se busca explicar cómo un conflicto étnico se traduce en la presencia de grupos insurgentes, y a su vez, establece una amenaza interdependiente entre los líderes políticos de dichos países, que permite hablar del subcomplejo de seguridad. Para lograr lo anterior, son pertinentes los postulados teóricos de los Complejos de Seguridad Regional de Barry Buzan, ya que identifican la manera como se estructuran, localizan, y evolucionan estas unidades de análisis. Finalmente, este análisis se complementa con el método de estudio propuesto por Jeremy M. Weinstein para comprender por qué y para qué se crean grupos insurgentes.

Os Donos de São Benedito: convenções e rebeldias na luta entre o catolicismo tradicional e devocional na cultura de Bragança, século XX

Esta dissertação discute as imagens e representações encontradas na Literatura e as lutas pelo controle da cultura no exemplo da Festividade, da Irmandade e da Marujada de São Benedito, na cidade de Bragança, Estado do Pará, na Amazônia brasileira, a partir da década de 1930, no século XX. Analisando uma farta bibliografia nos temas Folclore, Memória, Tradição Popular e Antropologia, o estudo tenta explicar como se construíram as relações sociais entre os sujeitos históricos da Igreja Católica pela Prelazia do Guamá e da Irmandade do Glorioso São Benedito de Bragança, relacionando-os com o recurso literário e com os principais teóricos da historiografia, para entender o catolicismo popular e oficial em suas representações assim como os símbolos construídos no tempo, como elementos da História de tensão entre as ideias e regras de controle eclesiástico católico e a reação popular dos irmãos de São Benedito.

O centenário da ferrovia brasileira (1954): ensaio sobre a elabo-ração da memória ferroviária no Brasil

In 1954, it was celebrated the centenary of railways in Brazil. The date refers to the first section of 14.5 km of railway in Brazil (30/04/1854), in Rio de Janeiro, between Mauá and Fragoso, of the Petropolis Railway Company (Estrada de Ferro Petrópolis). Some of the texts and commemorative events indicated the symbolic values that the railroad took in the Brazilian history. Firstly, on 30.04.1954, the railway section Mauá-Fragoso and steam locomotive “Baroness” (the first used on the track) were declared national monuments(Decree No. 35,447-A, April 30, 1954). Secondly, some entities (Clube de Engenharia, Conselho Nacional de Geografia, Ministério da Viação e Obras Públicas) highlighted the importance of celebrating the Brazilian railway history and its historical significance, economic and geographical. For this, some events was occurred (the commemoration of one hundred years in Rio de Janeiro and Recife on 30.04.1954). Among the texts wrought produced, we highlight the text I Centenary of Brazilian Railroad (1954), released by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística), and the National Council of Geography (Conselho Nacional de Geografia). The emphasis given to the railway refersto the geographical perspective (territorial expansion), but also makes mention of the Barãode Mauá, the founder of Petropolis Railway Company. We aim to understand the celebration from evocations about the Brazilian railroad history and some ideas that is assigned to the railway (and the Barãode Mauá), and railway heritage (the track and the locomotive “Baroneza”). On basis of this review will seek to understand how it was reconceived the railroad memory in view of these values and material elements.

Perception of brazilian citizens about Darwinism and the (Non) Influence of God in the evolutionary process

The current context is unique in relation to the teaching of evolution in Brazil and the population's perception of evolution. On the one hand, it is said often about Darwinism in various media, especially due to the relatively recent commemoration of the two hundred years of the birth of Charles Darwin and one hundred and fifty years of the launch of the book The Origin of Species. On the other hand, it is clear, in recent years, a timid movement, more worryingly, in favor of equitable approach of creationist and evolutionist theories in the classroom. This article is a part of a research whose goal is to raise the design that Brazilian respondents have about the Darwinian view (which disregards the divine influence in the evolution of the species). The instrument used for data collection is a questionnaire, type Likert scale, which consists of a series of statements in which respondents must express their degree of agreement or disagreement with each statement. In this study, we present the results of the statement. "The thought of Darwin, which does not consider God as a participant in the process of evolution, is...". Analysis correlated with data on religion and education of the respondents are also held. The results point to a tendency of respondents not to accept the Darwinian view that disregards God's interference in the evolutionary process. The data also show that respondents' choices are influenced by religion and education. The frequency of responses that tend to accept the Darwinian view (which disregards the divine participation in the evolution of the species) is higher among respondents with higher levels of education. Adherents to religions "evangelical" tend to deny this view more often than followers of other religions. Given the potential risks of inserting creationist approaches in school education, it is necessary a discussion of the possible impacts of this rejection of Darwin's thinking (which does not consider God as a participant in the evolutionary process), indicated here, in the teaching of evolution.

Sobre Fernando Estévez y algunas esculturas del Niño Jesús. Nuevas atribuciones

[ES] La conmemoración del ccxxv aniversario del nacimiento de Fernando Estévez (1788-1854) en 2013 propició una aproximación diferente a la trayectoria de dicho artista. Este artículo recuerda las actividades organizadas entonces en La Orotava, especialmente una exposición de esculturas y documentos que tuvo varias sedes o lugares de exhibición durante el mes de marzo. Partiendo de obras contempladas entonces, se estudian otras representaciones del Niño Jesús que conservan templos del norte de Tenerife y pueden atribuírsele por cuestiones de estilo. [EN] The commemoration of 225th birth anniversary of Fernando Estévez (1788-1854) in 2013 allowed a new approach to his artistic caree. This paper recalls the activities organised in La Orotava back then, especially an exhibition of sculptures and documents in several spaces during the month of March. Based on the sculptures seen there, we can attribute to him other representations of the Infant Jesus that are preserved in churches in northern Tenerife.

Talking through walls: a history of the murals in Northern Ireland

This dissertation examines how some fundamental events of the history of Ireland emerge through the art of the mural. It is divided into three chapters. The first chapter opens with a brief presentation of the mural as a form of art with a semiotic and sociological function, with a particular focus on the socio-political importance it has had and still has today in Ireland, where murals are a significant means of expressing ideals, protest and commemoration. A part of this chapter also provides data about the number of murals and their location, with a particular focus on the two cities of Belfast and Derry. This first chapter ends with the presentation of an initiative put forth by the Arts Council of Northern Ireland, called "Building Peace through the Arts: Re-Imaging Communities", and questions its implementation on the Irish soil. The second chapter provides a history of the murals in Northern Ireland, from the Unionist's early depictions of King Billy in occasion of the 12 July annual celebrations to the Republican response. This will be supported by an explanation of the two events that triggered the start of the mural painting for both factions: the Battle of the Boyne for the Loyalists and the 1981 hunger strike for the Republicans. In the third and last chapter of this dissertation, a key of the main themes, symbols, acronyms and dominant colours which can be found in Loyalist and Republican murals is provided. Furthermore, one mural for each faction is looked at more closely, with an analysis of the symbols which are present in it.

Panel Discussion - Local Finns in Illinois

Finnish North American labor contributions and involvement in strikes such as the 1913-14 Michigan Copper Strike are being restored to the historical record and even commemorated; yet some Finnish American communities’ labor history still goes untold. We contend that in the case of DeKalb, Illinois, the Finnish American labor and strike history has been, in part, overshadowed in contemporary remembrance by the city’s promotion of traditional history and commemoration focused on the barbed wire barons. Local Finnish American labor involvement and participation in strikes appears to have been marginalized in favor of a subsequent historical narrative surrounding the capitalist entrepreneurship of elites. However, counter memories of labor struggles may be lost for a variety of reasons. External and internal forces make it difficult for marginalized groups to offer alternatives to the construction of collective memories that exclude them. These forces include, but are not limited to gradual assimilation into dominant culture, internal conflict within social movements, and fear of, or experience with, governmental repression. In our archival research, surveys and interviews with 2nd and 3rd generation Finnish American residents reveal the many forces of “forgetting” that can influence the counter memory of Finnish American labor history in certain communities.
